Day 2 - Drive to Pasadena

Yesterday, Thursday, we drove from Kingman, AZ to Pasadena, CA. We're staying at Betty's older brother's house which is beautiful and sits in the hills above the Rose Bowl.

On the way we took another Route 66 side trip through the Mojave Desert. It was hot and desolate with several old abandoned small towns. However, one town, Amboy, is making a come back of sorts. The whole town, small as it is, was bought on E-Bay by a business man. He is slowly trying to restore it. He has the general store and gas station done and is working on the restaurant (Roys) and motel.

Here are a few pictures from yesterday.
